FOR THIS STAGE YOU WILL NEED
ANOTHER ADULT. PLEASE DO
NOT TRY IT ON YOUR OWN.
Lift the upper bunk onto the lower
bunk, ensuring that the dowels in
the bedposts of the lower bunk
fit cleanly and simultaneously into
the holes bored under the feet of
the upper bunk.
Use the 8 screws (20mm long) to
lock one bunk to the other.

Decide which side you would like
to have the ladder.
The Short ladder stile will end up
at the bed end and the long
ladder stile connects to the safety
rails. The picture at left shows the
ladder being assembled for
attaching to the RIGHT hand side
of the bunk (bear in mind that it is
assembled from the rear). For a
left hand attachment, simply
reverse the positions of the 2
stiles.
Insert dowels into the holes in the
tread shoulders (not into the
metal inserts!)
Attach the narrow edges of the
ladder stiles to these and fix to
the treads using the 45mm bolts.
Tighten properly with the Allen
Key.

Remove the safety rails and ladder
Remove the screws locking the top bunk to the lower, and WITH THE AID OF
ANOTHER ADULT, lower the top bunk to the ground.
Remove one end from each bunk, (you should not need to remove the mattress
slats), especially if you turn the bed over onto its side to access the Barrel Nuts.
Attach a Headboard to what was previously the upper bunk, and a Footboard to
what was previously the lower bunk.
Remove the dowels from the head end legs.
